🧠 Spinal Mobilisation & Movement Therapy in Norwich

Restore Flexibility, Reduce Pain & Improve Posture at ProActive Rehab

At ProActive Rehab in Norwich, we take a functional, hands-on approach to pain relief and recovery. One of our most effective treatment methods is spinal mobilisation and movement therapy—a powerful technique used to restore motion in stiff or dysfunctional joints, relieve pain, and improve body mechanics.

Whether you’re recovering from a back injury, dealing with poor posture, or experiencing chronic neck or spinal discomfort, spinal mobilisation can help you move and feel better—without cracking or aggressive manipulation.

đź§© What Is Spinal Mobilisation?

Spinal mobilisation is a gentle, controlled manual therapy technique designed to improve joint movement in the spine and surrounding areas. Unlike spinal manipulation (the traditional “crack”), mobilisation involves slow, repetitive movements that encourage joints to move through their normal range of motion without force.

At ProActive Rehab Norwich, we combine spinal mobilisation with targeted movement therapy, stretching, and soft tissue work to create a full-body rehab experience that goes beyond temporary relief.

âś… Benefits of Spinal Mobilisation & Movement Therapy

âś” Reduces spinal stiffness and improves flexibility

âś” Eases muscle tightness caused by restricted joints

âś” Alleviates chronic back or neck pain

âś” Improves posture and spinal alignment

âś” Enhances movement efficiency during exercise or daily life

âś” Supports long-term injury prevention and rehab

Spinal mobilisation is especially effective for people who may not tolerate high-velocity techniques, including older clients, chronic pain sufferers, and those with nerve sensitivity.

🔍 Conditions We Treat with Spinal Mobilisation in Norwich

Spinal mobilisation is a safe and effective technique used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

âś” Lower back pain and stiffness

âś” Neck pain and reduced cervical movement

âś” Sciatica and nerve compression symptoms

âś” Postural dysfunctions and desk-related pain

âś” Thoracic spine tightness and rib stiffness

âś” Headaches caused by neck tension (cervicogenic headaches)

âś” Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction

âś” Mid-back restriction affecting breathing or movement

If you’re looking for sports massage or injury rehab in Norwich that addresses not just the muscles, but also the joints that guide movement, spinal mobilisation is a key part of your recovery.

⚙️ How Does It Work?

Spinal mobilisation involves specific therapist-guided movements that target each restricted spinal segment. These movements may include:

  • Passive joint glides or oscillations
  • Assisted spinal stretches
  • Postural cueing and neuromuscular re-education
  • Breath-assisted rib mobilisation
  • Mobility drills integrated with exercise rehab

By stimulating the joint capsule and nervous system, we improve spinal segment movement, reduce local tension, and enhance global mobility — especially when combined with manual therapy and exercise rehab.

🔄 Spinal Mobilisation + Movement Therapy = Long-Term Relief

At ProActive Rehab, we don’t just loosen things temporarily — we help your spine move better, then reinforce that with functional movement therapy and home-based rehab.

Our approach blends:

  • Manual joint techniques
  • Soft tissue release
  • Postural correction
  • Mobility-based rehab
  • Strength training progression (when appropriate)

It’s this integration that makes us a trusted name in injury rehab in Norwich — not just treating pain, but preventing it from coming back.
